About Us
✦ Founded 1999 The Furyukan Dojo opened in May 1999, founded by Kaicho Carl McClafferty.
When Carl moved due to a work reassignment, he gifted the dojo to Andrew Delikta Sensei, who has led it ever since. The name was chosen by the students of that time. The dojo is a proud affiliate of the Mizu Hi Kobukai Shinto Ryu.
About Us

Japan has always held a deep fascination for me ; from books and film to the rich history of its martial arts. When I began my own journey, it had to be a Japanese art.
I have trained for 30 years in various Japanese martial arts and have served as a sensei for 27 years in the arts .

I began practicing Karate in 1984 and discovered Japanese sword arts in the late 1990s. Training under Andy Sensei and Carl McClafferty, I have been studying ever since, and teaching for nearly 20 years.
In 2017 I was promoted to Rokudan (6th dan) with a Renshi teaching certificate. My belief is that traditional Japanese martial arts keep the mind active, the body healthy, and the spirit balanced.
The Furyukan has remained active in the global martial arts community since 1998, earning recognition at tournaments in both the United States and Japan.
